OPTA™ 8100 Auto-sampling System (Continuous/Intermittent)
The OPTA 8100 Auto-sampling System is a flagship high-precision sampling and analysis solution, exclusively developed by OPTA PERIPH (France) for full-scenario applications such as large-scale LNG ship loading/unloading, tank truck loading/unloading areas, and pipeline sampling.
Overview
Equipped with multiple invention patents, the system has provided stable support for over 300 LNG sampling systems worldwide. Its core technologies include vacuum sampling, supercritical gasification, and fully automatic analysis. The system complies with key international and domestic standards such as ISO 8943, EN 12838, and GIIGNL. It adapts to extreme working conditions such as ultra-low temperature, high humidity, and salt spray corrosion, enabling accurate capture of critical LNG parameters (e.g., composition and calorific value). As core equipment for large-scale operations of LNG terminals and protection of owners' core interests, it provides reliable data support for custody transfer and process control.
Features
Core Advantages
Extremely high precision
Vacuum sampling and supercritical vaporization ensure sample integrity from probe to analyzer; composition and calorific value meet custody transfer-grade accuracy per ISO 8943, EN 12838, and GIIGNL.
Very short lag time
Short, direct sample path from line to analyzer with minimal holdup for fast response to process conditions and custody transfer timing requirements.
Excellent sample representativity
Continuous/intermittent sampling and standards-compliant design ensure sample matches line fluid with no fractionation or distortion, supporting reliable custody transfer and process control.
Fully automated, unattended operation
End-to-end automation from sampling, vaporization, transfer to analysis, supporting 24/7 operation for ship loading/unloading, tank truck operations, and pipeline sampling.
Proven reliability worldwide
Over 300 LNG sampling systems in operation globally, with proven performance in ultra-low temperature, high humidity, and salt spray environments.
Continuous Sampling Station
Robust control station for continuous sampling system integration and operation. The continuous sampling control station provides a centralized control and monitoring solution for continuous sampling systems. It features integrated control panels with HMI interface, pressure gauges, valves, and electronic components. The station is designed for easy access and maintenance, with hinged doors and organized internal layout. It ensures reliable operation and precise control of continuous sampling processes.
Features
Intermittent Sampling Station
Robust control cabinet designed for intermittent sampling system integration and operation. The intermittent sampling control cabinet provides a centralized control and monitoring solution for intermittent sampling applications. It includes CP/FP constant-pressure sample containers and manual sampling containers. It features integrated control panels, pressure gauges, valves, and electronic components. The cabinet is designed for easy access and maintenance, with hinged doors and organized internal layout. It ensures reliable operation and precise control of intermittent sampling processes.
